I was a kid in the 1970s, and this looks eerily familiar. We did have outdoor play equipment, my sister and I had a big square sandbox, and a swing-set (which was replaced by a geodesic climbing frame, my dad was a "maker"). Simple swings, play-houses, and "kiddie pools" were fairly common in our neighborhood. Good on keeping the kid's room non-specific; toys and kids' things weren't as gender-stereotyped as they were in the '80s-'90s. The trendy colors of the '70s were Avocado, Harvest Gold, and Burnt Orange, and they were used for everything from textiles up through major appliances and fixtures. Walnut was THE accent wood color. Not that there weren't other colors, too; I remember we had a pink toilet in the second bathroom, and our piano was painted blue! Mostly pretty authentic. Yes, "Mr. Coffee" was a 1970s thing. Anachronisms I caught include the dish antenna (it would instead have one of those big crisscrossy wire aerials), the raised-bowl sink in the bathroom, and the novelty light-string on the patio (any light-string other than at Christmas would be weird). Oh, and the baby Yoda, but we'll give him a pass because of cuteness...
Wow, I think you captured the feel wonderfully! I was little in the eighties, but there were plenty of orange and brown and “ugly” linoleum floors in our house from the decade before.
This looks amazing and the color scheme is on point! I always fail to build 70's houses because I feel like they are so dark because of all the wood paneling and the strong colors, but your house just looks so bright and cute!😍
Theres a saying, "children are seen and not heard" and i think that comes from this time period. Hench why not much childrens stuff is around the house like you said 😁
Enjoyed watching this!! It's funny.. I am a 60's baby and I just made me as a toddler with my 2 older brothers and my parents and grandmother to play on the sims. right now I am building my house I grew up in.. the best that I can remember it and what I can find to use in the sims to decorate! Some items I just use something else that I may like instead because sims doesn't have what I need. For the life of me I can't remember much about color of objects in our old home but remember the floor plan to a "T"!! As far as your question about the toys.. I grew up in a very well to do home.. when I was very small I could bring out one toy to our den/family room to play with while I watched tv as long as I put it way after. I remember in the 70's we got another tv to put in the play room for us kids. My parents had a beautiful garden area/patio where they could entertain but I still had a place to play with a playhouse and a swingset and a tire swing tide to an old huge tree on the side of the house. We move in the 80's to a 3 story home for more space in the Atlanta area.. Stone Mount Ga.. This was after my father was killed in a plane crash when I was only 8yrs old then my mom remarried when I was almost 12 and then we moved. Wish there was more retro items in the game! I don't know how to get cc items.. I always have to get my daughter to do that for me 😂😂
I love the 70s aesthetic I know it’s quite retro but I love it. I love those caramel shades and all that olive and citric greens, the mix of it with square shapes and a lot of wood. People can see 70s aeshetic as extra because of the psychodellic and weird colorful stuff, but I tend to see the other side of 70s as beautiful elegant forniture, and simple square and round shapes, it’s kinda of clean spaces with plants and wood bookshelfs filled with vinyl records, oh I love this vibe! I loved your home! Next time I beg you please if you can, make 70s chic modern house! I’m gonna build one by myself in the sims, but I would love to see yours! cause your ideas and the way you build and create your homes are just another level! 👏🏻✨💕
My grandparents house had paneling on every wall, olive green fridge in the kitchenthat had floral printed paneling, single bathroom, no dryer - just a clothing line! This build gave me such reminiscent vibes!
MissSimReno - outside there would often be a swing set or a see-saw for the kids, but inside you are right about keeping the kids stuff to just their rooms.
In my experience with the bathroom/kitchen tile thing- often cheaper houses might have the same tiles to save money but more expensive houses would design the spaces separately. Usually this also means for houses that are entirely a hard surface floor (all wood floors or all tile floors) they’ll just take that into the bathrooms and kitchens because again, cost
Love this! The front strongly reminded me of Pickford’s house from Dazed & Confused. Awesome job, I think you definitely captured the feel of late 60s/early 70s homes!
This looks sooo much like my grandmas house! From the 70's :) Great job and great build!! This is my first video I've watched of yours and I loveee your build style and attention to detail!
This was such a fun build! And I too love F is for Family. I think I've only seen the same tile used in both the kitchen and bath in cheap apartments, bt I'm not sure abt houses.
I found your channel yesterday and I've been binging your video's since then. I usually don't comment on youtube but I just wanted to say that 70's kitchens always make me cringe when I see one and you've perfectly captured that cringy 70's like kitchen. I love it. (I swear that is a compliment loll) Also how do you only have 8k followers? You deserve so many more!! I think you're my new favorite sim youtuber!
This is really cool, I'm not exposed to too many 70s references anymore, I guess the Goldbergs is my closest xD and That 70s show but from those houses - you've nailed it. I love the little hallway between the kids bedroom and the bathroom - I never do that, such a good idea and it's so realistic. I also love the little train set as well. Just really awesome stuff 👌
My sister was watching this and trying to copy it using base game and pets DLC and she was like, Miss girl gonna make me mad if she keeps using all this DLC that we don't have! I just laughed.
Love this so much! I’ve been trying to build mid century homes in Oasis Springs and this has given me some great ideas! Also I didn’t realize you’re from New England too! I’m from New Hampshire☺️
It’s not common to have matching tiles in bathrooms. It’s more common to have your entry and kitchen match with the same tile. But it depends on the decorator.
In 30 years, they're going to say that our houses were "groovy" 😂😂😂
Absolutely not
Reminds me of my grandparents house, they had an avocado green bathroom and shag carpet ;)
derain85 Thats what I was going for! 🤗💓

yes, you stayed outside all day. It was safe and you played till the street lights were on. that was my childhood in the 70's
Wow, I think you captured the feel wonderfully! I was little in the eighties, but there were plenty of orange and brown and “ugly” linoleum floors in our house from the decade before.
Willowweeds YES, ugly linoleum was a staple of the time I feel 😂💓
Honestly, this build makes me so happy, nowadays everything is muted and black/white and BORING this house feels so much more like a home
This looks amazing and the color scheme is on point! I always fail to build 70's houses because I feel like they are so dark because of all the wood paneling and the strong colors, but your house just looks so bright and cute!😍
paulpancake Aw thanks so much!! 🤗💓 I’m sure you would make a stunning 70’s home. Your builds are great!!
Even though the color scheme is all over the place and there's some kind of "ugly" objects, I still love the way everything looks together. Great job!
It's a mess 😂 I'm a crazy person about things matching, so this was a bit painful, but came together I feel! Thanks so much! 💓🤗

Love this house so much! And the hanging plane?? Genius!!!
Juliana C Aw thank you! I’m certainly not the first, but it’s such a cute addition to a kids room! 🤗💓
1) I love the 70s and you seriously nailed this build!!
2) Bill Burr is one of my faves too and his show is hilarious 😂
Thank you!! 💓🤗 He's so freaking funny. Crass, but hilarious!

Love the build
Reminds me of That 70s Show lmao
As well as my grans home, they have rly ugly carpet tiling and god awful wallpaper 😹 but I vibe with it
My grandparents house had paneling on every wall, olive green fridge in the kitchenthat had floral printed paneling, single bathroom, no dryer - just a clothing line! This build gave me such reminiscent vibes!
One thing I'm glad you didn't include is CARPETED BATHROOMS
Lol the house I grew up in had carpeted bathrooms 😂 it was sooo gross 😩
I love that flower wall art in the dining room! It's perfect! It reminds me of my grandma's house! :D
I love this! You build everything I need in this game perfectly!!
Aw thank you!! 💓🤗
MissSimReno - yes several of the mirrors do hang too high.
They definitely do! Love this trick for fixing it, wouldn't have thought of that
F is for family is so good!!

Lol this is spot on I live in a 70s house and it looks so similar
I TOTALLY feel you on the mirror height issue
Love this! The front strongly reminded me of Pickford’s house from Dazed & Confused. Awesome job, I think you definitely captured the feel of late 60s/early 70s homes!
This house is so cute! I love the style! You nailed the 70's look!
EllekayPlays I did the best that I could - I’m so glad it feels somewhat “authentic” 🤗💓
The first choice oven and fridge has colors. I remember scenes in Bob's appliance store there were colored appliances like ovens and fridges.
This looks sooo much like my grandmas house! From the 70's :) Great job and great build!! This is my first video I've watched of yours and I loveee your build style and attention to detail!
Aw thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed it! So many people have mentioned that this reminds them of their grandparents' homes 💓🤗
This was such a fun build! And I too love F is for Family. I think I've only seen the same tile used in both the kitchen and bath in cheap apartments, bt I'm not sure abt houses.
This house is so stinkin cute! Love it and the inside is awesome! Can't wait to play in this! Thanks!

I love f is for family!
I love your personality! You're so good at voiceovers and you have an awesome build too! Love it, keep it up 😁😁😁

Charlotte Neill Thank you SO much!! 🤗💓
Woooow! You absolutely nailed it!!! The perfect 70s house! I love it so much I want to download it and create a family just to play with it!
the dish on the roof is wrong.
The dish would be on the ground, and as big as a sim. (fenced in)
LOL fair. I worked with what I had. The roof was too flat for me 🥴
am seeing clearly very quickly if i wanna do more vintage builds get famous and vintage glamour are major staples
You nailed this build! Definitely remind me of my childhood 😭
This is so adorable!! 😍
Giuliabuilds Thank you very much!! 🤗💓
yess f is for family is amazing lol
Hi I just stumbled upon your videos, and I am in love!! You are such a good builder!!
PlushyCloudWitness Thank you so much!! 🤗💓 So glad you stumbled in.
So glad I found your channel! Such great builds and love your styling and chats xx
This build is beautiful! I love the 70s ! Great job !
I would rationalise the tile situation as a bulk discount leading to the sameones used for each room.
My sister was watching this and trying to copy it using base game and pets DLC and she was like, Miss girl gonna make me mad if she keeps using all this DLC that we don't have! I just laughed.
OMG I love it! 😍
Thanks so much, sweetie!! 💓🤗
I love this! You are so good at building, I really enjoy watching your videos!
This was just amazing! I couldn't even wait til the end of the video to download and place it 😅
so beautiful!!! I wish I could live there :(
i love this so much
I love Bill burr !
Yesss another Bill Burr fan!
My husband when he worked at his last job he met Bill’s father and he said he is just as funny as Bill. The Burr family is from Canton Massachusetts.
Literally such a job well done😂😂 its awful💀 really captured the vibe of the 70s i loved this
great job
i really love the kitchen
Love this so much! I’ve been trying to build mid century homes in Oasis Springs and this has given me some great ideas! Also I didn’t realize you’re from New England too! I’m from New Hampshire☺️
I have seen it I watched the whole series loved it that is funniest now who did you say the guy was?.
Freaking love this
Nailed it !!
MissSimReno - we are from the same area.. cool
What is your graphic setting in Sims? It looks so smooth
It’s not common to have matching tiles in bathrooms. It’s more common to have your entry and kitchen match with the same tile. But it depends on the decorator.
LOOOOVE ITTTTT!!
You're so sweet and sincere. Immediate subscribe!
I love bill burr lol f is for family is so good 😂 how is your game so bright and vibrant? Or is it done in editing
my grandmoms kitchen has the same linoleum and her bathroom downstairs is the same color scheme as the kitchen 😭
Do you use a shader in your game? I love how bright it is!!!
Is this on the gallery? If not please add it
I long for the boring 70's again. Before the world went absolutely crazy.
Am I the only one who hates Oasis Springs
I used to despise it until I started building here 😂
Yes
Its gorgeous but i dont think a 70s house would have a microwave?
What reshade do you use? :)
I use LightBrigade by Hey Harrie! 💓🤗
No not uncommon.
Thanks, I hate it.
